Water security, Water, Bibliometric analysisAbstract
The concept of water security goes far beyond of water availability. That means, according to UN (United Nations), the sustainable access to safe water, in adequate quantities to the maintenance of livelihoods, human well-being and socioeconomic development; assuring protection against hydric pollution, water disasters and conservation of ecosystems. Nowadays, millions of people around the world live with water scarcity, exposed to risks caused by highly degraded environment, proliferation of diseases vectorized by polluted waters, among other difficulties. Considering the importance that water security has gained in recent years, this work aims to do a bibliometric analysis of production advances on the theme. For this purpose, an exploratory-descriptive research was carried, with a qualitative approach, using the Web of Science database. Data processing was made using VosViewer software, through the elaboration of bibliometric networks that represent international scientific production on the topic. Therefore, article and review publications made between the years of 2010-2021 containing the term “water security†were considered. It was observed that the theme has an H-index of 39. Data obtained in this survey were portrayed in the graphics presented in this study, including the clusters of authors and most recurrent keywords in the studies surveyed.
